[Alfadas]

While fighting various tentacles and a big head, Torald notices a letter carrier fly into sewers and give a letter to each hero there. Torald quickly reads through the letter, scribbles his name on it with blood from his weapon and gives it back to the carrier, to take it back to the Hall.

[Kintobor]

Karie mumbles to herself as she scrawls out a letter for the annual lottery. "Fourth times the charm." Karie enters her name into the lottery.

---

Annienal notices the lottery notice going up in the hall as she musters from her book. Mainly focusing on her reading, Annienal signs her name, barely legible, on a scrap piece of paper before whisking it off.

[Palathadric]

Having finished off the host of demons and waiting for the party to decide on the Catnip situation, I spy a pink slip of paper. By now, I know the drill.

Signing my name on the parchment I whisper the magic words and it disappears.

"What a queer tradition!

Petaldan also sees a note appear.

"What's this then?"

I turn the paper over in my hands. Before drawing a smiling face in the signature form.

Whoever would receive it would have to know that I too am participating.

[Asphalt]

Vindsval ear twitches as he hears a slight pop inside his cloak pocket. He reaches in and withdraws the lottery notice.

That time of year again is it?

The paladin scrawls his name on the slip of paper. he flips it into the air and is disappears with a barely noticeable displacement of air.

[wiz]

Cedric signs up for the Fifth Anniversary Lottery.

[Yzalirk]

While sitting at a table in the hall, an unfamiliar letter gently floats down in front of Addok-Zo on the table. It catches him off guard and he springs up out his chair and aims his hand cannon at the piece of paper while using the fallen chair as cover. He quickly notices that it is simply a piece of paper that bares the word "lottery" and has a section for where he can sign his name. He quickly glances around for something to use to sign his name but somehow the letters signs his name for him. He rubs his palms together and mutters, "Wonder what I'll get." The letter drifts away.

[Comrade Commander]

Darksten is thankful he was not in the middle of combat when the bright note finds him.

He quickly jots down his name and flicks the response away with his confirmation of participation inside before returning to the conversation taking place.

[JimBee]

Hybros signs his name to the lottery.

Jinnipher does the same.

[-obelix-]

Using the divination magic, Thalion receives the notice about the anniversary lottery before the banishing of the demon that was about to take place in Baltarok, and sends the note back to the Hall, confirming his participation.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen sees Thalion toying with the entry slip and checks the pocket of her satchel. Sure enough, there is an entry slip for her there also.

signing it she puts it back in the pocket closing it with the button marked with a flying bird.

[samurai-turtle]

Noticed a lottery slip and puts his name on it. Then wonders why he always gets these things in the middle of something.

[MysticModulus]

While exploring a new way from the market to the hall a piece of paper suddenly materialises in mid air. Reacting with lightning reflexes Ezeran catches the paper before the symbiont devours it. Ezeran then signs his name to it before it starts to loose form and then vanishes again . The sorcerer had had stranger experiences and shrugged the whole thing off before walking on.

[Dragonfire]

Avalanche sees a slip of paper lying beside his bench in Heroica Hall, and signs his name on it before returning to his drink.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke grabs a piece of paper flitting about in the sewer, scribbles down his name, and throws it over his shoulder, getting back to the battle at hand.

[Duvors]

Throlar looked at the letter that had appeared before him, signed his name, and sent it on it's way.

[Lind Whisperer]

Seeing the piece of paper drift down in front of him, Lind added his name and returned to his work.

[KotZ]

After waking up from a nasty attack from some demon bugs, Kiray sees the letter in her hands. She signs her name, and just like that, the paper goes away as a ghost. Similar to a story she heard of a man named Emmett and his friends getting a ghostly invite to a weird knockoff theme park.

[Quarryman]

Seeing Hybros and Pretzel doing weird things with slips of paper Namyrra quickly follows suit and signs up for the lottery.

[The Legonater]

Dyric, as had became tradition, signed his name.

[Zepher]

Boomingham waiting to exorcise a demon, quickly fills out a slip of paper.

Bobby, sitting at home with his mom sipping tea and prying subconsciously at the mask fused to his face, fills out a slip of paper.

[Flipz]

Upstairs in a lonely room at Number 14 Heron St., Arthur Ziegfried finds himself a recipient of another pink parchment. Mind still on the note he had received some time ago--one of angelic origin--he is inclined to open and respond to it; thus, Arthur, too, enters the Lottery.

[Mencot]

As Keliim walks out from the hall into the streets of Eubric, suddenly a piece of paper turns up in front of him. He takes it and write down his name, Keliim on it.

[Cutcobra]

As he's battling the Tentacles whilst wearing clothes full of piss and other waste, Heckz receives a letter in his pocket. He angrily grabs at it, hoping it's not a rat that got in his pants when he was knocked out.

He sees it and quickly signs his name. The letter then disappears. He needed to get his hands on powerful magic like that one of this days. Then he could teach everyone who doubted him a lesson.

[Siercon and Coral]

Siercon returns to the hall to see many new and odd faces. Still the was here, and signing up was more important. He stepped aside and entered the lottery drawing.
